Summing what up, exactly?

Now entering my Bakerella- NON-fail blog:
I thought I'd start this out like Bakerella does hers, with a little picture of the ingredients. Here, you can see butter (softened, not melted), yellow cake mix, and brownie mix. All the signs of a good cook and a meatless burger.
Then I decided to go where few have gone before, at least in public. Here's CAKE MAN. He's very happy; doesn't realize that soon, his nose and eyes will be blended into oblivion, only to be put in a scorching oven until his skin blisters and his atomic make-up changes. (Or whatever happens that makes salmonella non-existent.) I baked cupcakes out of the cake mix, filling them high enough that they were going to bake up and over the sides a little bit.

After baking and cooling the cupcakes, I baked the brownies and put them in the freezer for easier cutting. I cut the cupcakes into thirds, and cut the brownies into circles with a glass. Lucky for me and other brownie-lovers, circles do not tessellate very well. Lots of scraps!

Sesame seeds (listen, Mitch!) stick on the tops of cupcake buns with just a little water on the cupcake.

To squirt the homemade icing out neatly, it worked really well to put it in plastic baggies and cut the tip. It was impressive, even for someone with the patience and attention span of me!

So I layered them... and ended up with a delicious-tasting meatless burger!
Cupcakes + icing + brownies + sesame seeds = one pretty good imitation. If I do say so myself.

And I do.
